You surely do know -- in particular because you provide almost all the relevant
information below. Usually, the following is necessary:

1. Versions of KDevelop *and* GDB
2. The exact output in GDB window, with internal commands included.
3. A minimal program that reproduces the problem.

I can can away without (3) in this case.

This is known issue in GDB 6.7 (introduced by myself, eek), which is
fixed in GDB 6.8 which is already released.
